Pros

You have your schedule for an entire year in advance.

Cons

For drivers, constantly rotating schedule. This results in never getting g used to your sleep schedule. Not being well rested results in a dangerous work environment. Too many chiefs is a review I would like to agree with. The employee safety is not a priority. They do not respect proper breaks. Two ten minutes and a twenty minute lunch...all while working a constantly rotating schedule. Every two weeks you switch from days to nights. It doesn't make sense. The employees have made this clear. However, no changes.

Pros

Benefits are fantastic, employee share program, inexpensive insurance options with generous HSA contributions ($3000 per year), ample opportunities for career growth for those willing to relocate (internationally sometimes)

Cons

Mining is cyclic, layoffs are always a looming threat, depending on role 50-60 hr work week is common

Pros

Local environment is very friendly and laid back. Everyone is helpful. The benefit package is nice as well. We do get the option to purchase company shares, 100% company match up to 6% for 401k plus additional deposits.

Cons

Our company was recently purchased by Rio Tinto and their IT groups are very secular and specialized which makes it hard to communicate and get things resolved. I’ve also compared my salary to others with the same job title within manufacturing companies in my state and found my salary is way below the benchmark.
